TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Cizzle Brands Corporation (Cboe Canada: CZZL) (OTCQB: CZZLF) (Frankfurt: 8YF) (the 'Company' or 'Cizzle Brands'), is pleased to announce that Golf Town, known as Canada's golf superstore, is now carrying three of the original flavours of CWENCH Hydration™ (Blue Raspberry, Rainbow Swirl, and Berry Crush) in the hydration mix format at all 47 of its retail store locations, as well as on its website.
Golf Town is the latest Canadian specialty sporting goods retailer to begin carrying CWENCH Hydration™, joining Sport Chek, Source for Sports, and Pro Hockey Life as part of the Company's strategic rollout of CWENCH in the brand's first year on the market in North America.
Golf Town is part of the Sporting Life group of companies, a proudly Canadian owned and operated organization which is also the parent entity of Team Town Sports. Golf Town was founded in 1999, and has become one of Canada's leading golf retailers. Cizzle Brands will be providing sales support for Golf Town store personnel to help golfers of all ages and at all levels to elevate their hydration game.
The placement of CWENCH Hydration™ with Golf Town adds to the brand's presence in Canadian golf, a footprint that Cizzle Brands has been actively building out through grassroots initiatives that include becoming the Official Hydration Drink of the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (where every junior golfer participating in the 90 events nationwide will be provided with CWENCH) and the title sponsor of the MJT CWENCH Classic in August, as well as becoming the Official Hydration Drink of the Durham Junior Golf Tour.
The Company is also pleased to announce that CWENCH Hydration™ will be available at prestigious golf courses and country clubs across Canada, including the Toronto Golf Club, Piper's Heath Golf Club, Hamilton Golf and Country Club, and Magna Golf Club.
Cizzle Brands' Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer John Celenza commented, 'The CWENCH Hydration™ brand has been on the market for less than a year, and we have already built up an impressive footprint in the professional, collegiate, amateur, and youth levels of several sports… including hockey, basketball, volleyball, and golf. Being a game that's typically played outdoors in the sun, golfers know how important it is to stay hydrated as a key factor in both their enjoyment and overall performance. We're excited about building the CWENCH brand in the world of golf. Between launching the product in one of Canada's leading golf retailers, sponsoring two very well-known junior golf tours, and making the product available at prestigious courses and country clubs, we've taken a big step forward in doing so.'

Renting vs. buying: Is renting for life really that bad?

The rent-versus-buy debate has long divided financial experts and aspiring homeowners, with no clear winner in sight. The traditional argument holds: While buying a home can build long-term equity and stability, renting can provide flexibility and fewer upfront costs. But as home ownership becomes a far-fetched dream for many young Canadians, can renting for life be a viable option? Alex Avery, author of The Wealthy Renter, thinks so. "It's different for every person, and each individual's needs change over time, but I'm still a firm believer that renting is a great option," he said. Despite rental prices having soared since publishing his book in 2016, Avery says renting is still cheaper and carries less risk than buying. 'People compare mortgage payments to monthly rental rates, but mortgage payments don't begin to cover the full costs of home ownership,' he said. These costs can include notary fees, realtor commissions and region-specific taxes when purchasing the property as well as ongoing costs such as mortgage interest, property taxes, insurance, and various maintenance and repair expenses. Avery was inspired to write his book during what he calls was a "speculative bubble" in the housing market at the time that he said created a perception of home ownership as an "easy out for savings," especially in urban centres like Toronto and Vancouver. "[Young Canadians] were being pressured to buy a condo when the math never made any sense," he said. Vancouver realtor Owen Bigland's calculations paint a different picture however. With average monthly rent for a one-bedroom unit in his city now hovering around $2,800, a lifetime renter could spend at least $1.3 million by the time they're 65 (not accounting for rent increases or inflation), according to Bigland. 'And you'll have zero to show for it. Where's the savings here?' he questioned. Even if monthly rent was cheaper than a mortgage payment, Bigland said many Canadians will likely spend any savings rather than invest it and grow their wealth. "A lot of Canadians don't have the discipline to save as much as they should," said Sebastien Betermier, an associate professor at McGill University who studies Canadian household spending. With rents making up at least a third of household expenditures, and homes making up 70 to 80 per cent of homeowners' wealth portfolios, Betermier says both renters and homeowners alike are exposing themselves to big risks. Recent data from a survey by the Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan and Abacus Data suggests the same. More than a third of Canadians report having less than $5,000 in savings, and those who own a home are increasingly relying on their home equity to fund their retirement. Bigland preaches home ownership for this very reason. He encourages chipping away at your mortgage and building equity so you can benefit from any price appreciation in the future. "The only real cash shelter we get in Canada is the principal residence exemption," he said. Put another way, "you're essentially renting [the home] from yourself," said Betermier. He adds that your home can act as collateral should you need to borrow against it someday. Most mortgages from big banks typically include a built-in home equity line of credit at a favourable rate, according to Bigland. 'It's accessible money without selling your home.' Avery, however, doesn't buy this argument. "It presupposes that housing is a safer investment than other investments," he said. "There are many places where house prices have gone down, where employment prospects change over time." As an alternative to relying on your home as an investment, Avery suggests putting your money into an RRSP, TFSA, and the FHSA which doesn't necessarily need to go toward a home purchase. "You can learn about index ETFs too. There's a lot of different ways to invest your money," he said. Avery, who's gone the home ownership route himself, doesn't think buying is a bad decision, but warns against it if you're banking on it as an investment tool. "That's conflating two different objectives," he said. "One is to house yourself, and the other is to generate wealth." But Bigland, who's also written a book on real estate and stock investing, says you should be doing both. He agrees renting can make sense in some situations like if you're anticipating a change in jobs, but you should consider buying if you can commit to a location for eight to 10 years. He suggests first-time buyers start with older buildings close to public transit often sitting on valuable pieces of land. "You'll probably have a developer [buy] in 10 or 15 years, and that might be your exit strategy," he said. "Even if you're a blue-collar guy, if you can get $40,000 down, maybe even forgo the car for a little while, you can do it." This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 19, 2025.
